Makeover Deluxe Grilled Cheese Recipes

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut in 1-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
• Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.
• Meanwhile, heat an electric panini press. When the press is hot, cook the sandwiches for 3 to 5 minutes in batches until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Cut in half and serve warm.

CRISPY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
• Spread one side of each piece of bread with a small amount of softened butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan on each slice so it sticks to the butter. Turn one piece over and sprinkle the mixed cheese on top (this will be the filling). Place the other piece of bread on top, with the Parmesan side facing up.
• Carefully transfer the sandwich to the skillet and cook on both sides until the middle filling is melted and gooey. Watch carefully so the surface doesn't burn; it should be a nice deep golden brown. Slice in half and dig in!

GRILLED CHEESE DELUXE

Steps:

• Add butter to the outsides of the bread.
• Lay down one slice in stovetop pan, add the 2 slices of cheese, then lay down other slice of bread on top of cheese.
• Cook in the pan till it is a perfect grilled cheese -- about 7-9 minutes.
• Put grilled cheese on plate and immediately pull the two pieces of bread apart.
• Lay the tomato down on the cheesiest side.
• Add 3-4 tbs (big heaping spoons) of mayonnaise to other side and smooth out until you have a very thick layer of mayonnaise.
• You can now add the onion (*which is good but optional*).
• You can also add the lettuce (*optional; I have never added lettuce before, but I am sure it is good, but I would just add mayonnaise and tomato first [and onion if you want]*).
• I add a little salt & pepper to the tomatoes.
• Now lay the mayonnaise cheese bread down on top of the tomatoes for an extremely delicious sandwich!
